My nose hump is getting bigger. Any suggestions?

jadon abr
Ever since I began high school people have been noticing the small hump on my nose. Ever since I've been pressing it everyday. My nose would be red most of the day. To this day I can definitely see it has become bigger. I've been told that its just swelling thats making it look bigger but I dont think so. When I go to bed It looks even worse and thats when I start pressing the hump again. Have I perhaps broken my nose bone or damaged the cartilage for my nose to have gotten bigger?
